Florida lawmakers passed a resolution declaring pornography a public health risk, less than an hour after they rejected a motion to consider a bill that would ban assault rifles.

And...

I wonder how many US viewers will get that.

And now the headlines you may have missed...

Pakistani police have arrested four people accused of stealing spinal fluid from women. The suspects told women they had to provide blood samples to qualify for financial assistance from the Punjab government. They extracted spinal fluid instead, and attempted to sell it on the black market.

What a confident smile.

Empty rooms of the National Gallery of London during World War II: all the paintings were hidden from the Nazis.

As I understand it, all the Art was returned.

Yes, I know the rule.

But this is the most poignant photo I have ever seen.

Russian Anthem plays prematurely.

I wonder if anyone died because of it.

Here's my take on that: They are making a movie and needed a crosswalk where there was none, but the city wouldn't let them paint the street.

Evil man from Green Mile in movie Moon. I liked it.

But they just woke up a clone who was in hibernation for....ever, and the motherfucker had dirty feet.

Question: What was whispered in ref's ear that causes that reaction?

Well, take a look for yourself.

You probably missed the gun he had strapped on his hip.

The Greek Super League has been indefinitely suspended after PAOK Salonika's president invaded the pitch with a gun during a match on Sunday. Ivan Savvidis, who had a gun in a hip holster, tried to confront the referee while accompanied by his security team, after his side had a late goal ruled out for offside against AEK Athens, in the gif you see someone approach the referees and warn them Savvidis is armed. AEK's players left the pitch concerned for their safety and did not return. The match was officially abandoned two hours later and local police are seeking Savvidis to arrest him. Deputy sports minister Giorgos Vasiliadis announced the abandonment of all top-flight matches on Monday after a meeting with Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras.

RH: The only thing stopping a bad soccer team owner with a gun is a good soccer team owner with a gun.

But wait there's more!
